EGOT also known as Eosinophil Granule Ontogeny (EGO) Transcript (non-protein coding) is a human gene at 3p26.1 encoding a long noncoding RNA molecule. EGOT is nested within an intron of the inositol triphosphate receptor type 1 (ITPR1) gene. The EGOT transcript is expressed during eosinophil development and is possibly involved in regulating eosinophil granule protein expression. Comparison of EGO-B the spliced isoform suggests EGOT may be conserved across placental mammals.
